Numbers 2

MSG

NLT

1 God spoke to Moses and Aaron. He said,
1 Then the LORD gave these instructions to Moses and Aaron:
2 "The People of Israel are to set up camp circling the Tent of Meeting and facing it. Each company is to camp under its distinctive tribal flag."
2 “When the Israelites set up camp, each tribe will be assigned its own area. The tribal divisions will camp beneath their family banners on all four sides of the Tabernacle, but at some distance from it.
3 To the east toward the sunrise are the companies of the camp of Judah under its flag, led by Nahshon son of Amminadab.
3 “The divisions of Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun are to camp toward the sunrise on the east side of the Tabernacle, beneath their family banners. These are the names of the tribes, their leaders, and the numbers of their registered troops: Tribe Leader Number Judah Nahshon son of Amminadab 74,600
4 His troops number 74,600.
4
5 The tribe of Issachar will camp next to them, led by Nethanel son of Zuar.
5 Issachar Nethanel son of Zuar 54,400
6 His troops number 54,400.
6
7 And the tribe of Zebulun is next to them, led by Eliab son of Helon.
7 Zebulun Eliab son of Helon 57,400
8 His troops number 57,400.
8
9 The total number of men assigned to Judah, troop by troop, is 186,400. They will lead the march.
9 So the total of all the troops on Judah’s side of the camp is 186,400. These three tribes are to lead the way whenever the Israelites travel to a new campsite.
10 To the south are the companies of the camp of Reuben under its flag, led by Elizur son of Shedeur.
10 “The divisions of Reuben, Simeon, and Gad are to camp on the south side of the Tabernacle, beneath their family banners. These are the names of the tribes, their leaders, and the numbers of their registered troops: Tribe Leader Number Reuben Elizur son of Shedeur 46,500
11 His troops number 46,500.
11
12 The tribe of Simeon will camp next to them, led by Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai.
12 Simeon Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai 59,300
13 His troops number 59,300.
13
14 And the tribe of Gad is next to them, led by Eliasaph son of Deuel.
14 Gad Eliasaph son of Deuel 45,650
15 His troops number 45,650.
15
16 The total number of men assigned to Reuben, troop by troop, is 151,450. They are second in the order of the march.
16 So the total of all the troops on Reuben’s side of the camp is 151,450. These three tribes will be second in line whenever the Israelites travel.
17 The Tent of Meeting with the camp of the Levites takes its place in the middle of the march. Each tribe will march in the same order in which they camped, each under its own flag.
17 “Then the Tabernacle, carried by the Levites, will set out from the middle of the camp. All the tribes are to travel in the same order that they camp, each in position under the appropriate family banner.
18 To the west are the companies of the camp of Ephraim under its flag, led by Elishama son of Ammihud.
18 “The divisions of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin are to camp on the west side of the Tabernacle, beneath their family banners. These are the names of the tribes, their leaders, and the numbers of their registered troops: Tribe Leader Number Ephraim Elishama son of Ammihud 40,500
19 His troops number 40,500.
19
20 The tribe of Manasseh will set up camp next to them, led by Gamaliel son of Pedahzur.
20 Manasseh Gamaliel son of Pedahzur 32,200
21 His troops number 32,200.
21
22 And next to him is the camp of Benjamin, led by Abidan son of Gideoni.
22 Benjamin Abidan son of Gideoni 35,400
23 His troops number 35,400.
23
24 The total number of men assigned to the camp of Ephraim, troop by troop, is 108,100. They are third in the order of the march.
24 So the total of all the troops on Ephraim’s side of the camp is 108,100. These three tribes will be third in line whenever the Israelites travel.
25 To the north are the companies of the camp of Dan under its flag, led by Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai.
25 “The divisions of Dan, Asher, and Naphtali are to camp on the north side of the Tabernacle, beneath their family banners. These are the names of the tribes, their leaders, and the numbers of their registered troops: Tribe Leader Number Dan Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai 62,700
26 His troops number 62,700.
26
27 The tribe of Asher will camp next to them, led by Pagiel son of Ocran.
27 Asher Pagiel son of Ocran 41,500
28 His troops number 41,500.
28
29 And next to them is the tribe of Naphtali, led by Ahira son of Enan.
29 Naphtali Ahira son of Enan 53,400
30 His troops number 53,400.
30
31 The total number of men assigned to the camp of Dan number 157,600. They will set out, under their flags, last in the line of the march.
31 So the total of all the troops on Dan’s side of the camp is 157,600. These three tribes will be last, marching under their banners whenever the Israelites travel.”
32 These are the People of Israel, counted according to their ancestral families. The total number in the camps, counted troop by troop, comes to 603,550.
32 In summary, the troops of Israel listed by their families totaled 603,550.
33 Following God's command to Moses, the Levites were not counted in with the rest of Israel.
33 But as the LORD had commanded, the Levites were not included in this registration.
34 The People of Israel did everything the way God commanded Moses: They camped under their respective flags; they marched by tribe with their ancestral families.
34 So the people of Israel did everything as the LORD had commanded Moses. Each clan and family set up camp and marched under their banners exactly as the LORD had instructed them.
